Craftsman 42 in. Vented Deck 20hp Lawn Tractor —

I have always owned Craftsman Lawn Tractors-in fact, almost all Craftsman Power Equipt. at my house. The engine seized after a little over 2 years of service-and I am **** about keeping the oil changed, and checking the oil. I now have a 1300.00 piece of junk sitting in my garage. It has the Briggs 20hp Intek engine. FWIW-it never really cut the lawn level, either. I will NEVER purchase another Craftsman Tractor. The last few items I have purchased from Sears do not seem to last. I also have a broken self propelled push mower that doesn't work, the carb fell off my edger, and the muffler fell off the new weed eater.
